A gentle 4 mile run with Joanna to Lode Mill this morning. We had some rain overnight and there was some light rain as we ran down Station Road. The temperature was comfortably cool.

A mother Swan with 2 fairly large cygnets was on the pond in Quy (the male bird was shot a few weeks ago - so she's done well to bring up 2 young). 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers together along the Bridleway. 3 Roe Deer were in a wheat field along the railway track. A Chiffchaff and several wrens heard. 3 Kingfishers were sitting in a dead tree along Quy Water at the start of Anglesey Abbey woods.





Looking back to Quy from Anglesey Abbey. The Kingfishers were in the tree (overhanging the water) in the centre of the picture.
